Is this possible

[wbens]

Is it possible to still be growing hieght wise at the age of 20? For some reason it seems like my 30 in length jeans are a little shorter then they use to be.

Laughing, because yeah, I've seen it happen. A friend of ours came over to visit at Christmas time in the middle of his junior year at college. He was always about 5'10 with enormous hands and feet. Anyway, he got out of the car that day and it was liking watching a moth unfurl from its cocoon. He had grown three inches and quickly since we'd seen him in April. For awhile he was also very clumsy...fell down our stairs a few times!!!

men generally continue to grow until they reach the age of 21.

my ex was 19, six-four, when i met him; 21, six-six when i dumped him.

It certainly is possible. One thing though wbens, weren't you heavy before and now you are pretty slender? Forgive me if I've got you mixed up with someone else.

When I was really fat (44 waist), I always thought I wore a 32 length jean. Now that I have a 30 waist and can actually see my feet, I've discovered that I needed a 34 length and no one bothered to tell me for all those years that my pants were too short.

[wbens]

Correct I was heavy. Part of it might be that I can where my pants up higher if you will. My gut isn't hangin over the top of my jeans.

Yeah, not needing so much hanging down for the seat means you have to buy longer legs. The length from groin to ankle doesn't change much, but when you don't have butt hanging halfway down to the knees - the clothes are cut differently.

you know, that really burns my britches: why is it that clothing manufacturers figure that because your waist is 42 (like mine used to be), then you must be six feet tall? i was so tired of buying 2XL and 3XL clothes and then having to pay again to get them hemmed to fit.

Yeah that blows,didnt have trouble finding a 38 waist 34 length,then try to find a 32-34,good luck.Just shows you that the majority of society is out of shape.

Yeah, and finding 30x34 is even harder. I'm happy when I find 32x34. I grab 'em. They give me enough room to carry extra stuff inside the waistband on my beltline. Sure beats trying to stuff myself into the "fat clothes" which were getting too tight though.

Damn! And I'm always left with the 28's or 30's with the 32-34 legs and have to cut off a mile!
